The coldcard fiasco has a very very important and probably not good side effect: bitcoin is not fungible. When stolen cold card coins move into circulation, the first identifiable holder of said stolen coin will be sued in real life to return the coin…this could have massively disruptive effects on bitcoin as money. 🍿

You bIP110 supporters are so behind the times. I stopped spam on my node months ago, and I’m ashamed of you that you did not follow my lead of only accepting spam free 50 kb blocks.

Oh, have you heard? Did you know? There are only so many bitcoin. Better get some just in case it catches on!

Because we all need to try out new things to keep our bitcoin skills sharp, you have got ti check out:

Fake bitcoin, real bitcoin hardware wallet firmware.

@SeedHammer Super excited about my #SeedHammer! Device is solid. I have to wait for my Claude usage to reset to find out if I can add a public key to one of the OTP slots or if I need to get a stencil and soldering stuff to replace the rp2350A so I can run my own firmware.

One of the dangers of living through a bit of history is that you might be completely wrong about the truth of it! Here is an example: When did HIV start? If you were in elementary school in the 1980s you may have seen an educational video that was filmed in my second grade classroom and you may have been taught the disease was “new.” But that ”new” was never true. It wasn’t a lie, per se, not intentionally at least, but scientists and physicians thought they had discovered something new. And the rate of recognition of cases made the apparent spread of the disease look far worse than it was in reality. Don’t get me wrong, gay men spread it well, but that’s not the whole story. HIV in humans dates back to the 1920s. But it’s hard to get a lot of money for a pandemic if it started 60 years before your grant proposal. Interesting video here:

BIP110 doesn’t go far enough. I think we need a central bitcoin block size committee to decide what the block size should be for the next 2 weeks. I suggest we start at 50 kB.
